The Miasmatic Approach in the Management of Bronchial Asthma in Homoeopathy

Bronchial asthma is a chronic obstructive disease of airways affecting bronchi, resulting in bronchoconstriction, tightening of chest and airway inflammation. Asthma remains a disease with clearly unsatisfactory therapeutics. With the mounting evidence in support of asthma being an inflammatory illness, anti-inflammatory agents have now become prerequisite for the long-term management of asthma. Along with anti-inflammatory agents, there is a need to search for other effective therapies to treat every aspect of the disease. Although asthma is a global disease, there are important differences in epidemiology, clinical spectrum and management practices in India.
